Mathematics and Further Mathematics at Queen Mary's High School

Course description

The Mathematics department offer two

A’ Level

courses:

• A’ level in Mathematics

• A’ level in Further Mathematics

Students studying Further Mathematics need also to be studying Mathematics. Some of the units transfer between the courses to give students a higher chance of achieving a top grade. Both courses complement each other very well

and are taught in parallelMathematics is an enjoyable and challenging subject suited for students who have been successful with a grade A or A* at GCSE Mathematics. Students who study any form of A’ Level

Mathematics must enjoy the challenges associated with problem solving, they

must have a dedicated work ethic and a confident and proficient aptitude with algebra and logical reasoning.

Students who are particularly enthusiastic and proficient at Mathematics possibly looking to study the Mathematics at degree level will be considered very disadvantaged if they have not also studied Further Mathematics. Further Mathematics would also be of
strong benefit for students looking to study physics, engineering or any subject that has a deep mathematical content.

Students who have been successful at A’ Level mathematics will have demonstrated

qualities that make them statistically more desirable to future employers and Further

education providers.

Future opportunities

Any career that would value problem solving skills or require logical thought and reasoning would find successful A’ Level Mathematics invaluable. For many students who have studied Mathematics, the disciplines developed go beyond academic measure and
become a way of thinking and living
